The four - A Lakdawala, Dr Vivek Kolekar, Arun Kamble and Manohar Jadhav - had moved for bail on the grounds that the investigations have been completed and they are ready to cooperate with investigating agency.
After hearing the argument of both the sides at length, additional sessions judge K P Joshi rejected the bail applications.
